How to Use This Pack

Seven pages for one Kindergarten unit on numbers to 10. Page 1 is a pre-check to give before the unit, to see what children already know. Pages 2 and 3 are a review to do together before the test, with a tip on every question. Pages 4 and 5 are the unit test, Form A. Pages 6 and 7 are Form B: the same questions in the same order with different pictures and numbers, for a retake or a child who was away. Each form has 10 questions, one point each, and a Score line on its first page. Read every question aloud: a small picture beside each question number (a sun, a moon, a car) lets you say "Find the sun. Count the pineapples."

In the Classroom

Give the test to a small group at a table, reading one question at a time and waiting until everyone is done. Questions 9 (one less) and 10 (counting back from 10) are taught in Kindergarten in some states only: leave them out and score out of 8 if your class does not learn them. The answer keys name each question's skill, so a missed question points to the lesson to reteach.

At Home

Use the review as practice before a test at school, or Form B as a check after the unit. Read each question aloud and let your child point and count out loud.

Tips for Success

  • Read every question aloud; children answer by circling, writing one number, drawing dots or drawing a line
  • Say the picture first: "Find the moon," then the question
  • In a ten frame, the top row is 5: watch for children who count on from 5 and those who count every dot
  • A child who writes a number backwards still knows the amount: note it and keep going
  • Use Form B as a retake after reteaching what was missed

Common Core Standards Alignment

This pack supports the following Common Core State Standards for Mathematics:

  • K.CC.A.3 Write the numerals 0 to 20 and use a numeral to show how many objects are in a group, with 0 meaning none.
  • K.CC.B.4a Count objects by saying numbers in order and matching exactly one number to each object, none skipped or counted twice.
  • K.CC.B.4b Know the final number in a count gives the total, and the total stays the same however the objects are arranged or counted.
  • K.CC.B.4c Know that each next number in the count stands for a group with one more object.
  • K.CC.B.5 Tell how many: up to 20 objects in a line, array or circle, or 10 scattered. Also count out a requested number up to 20.
  • 1.OA.C.5 Connect counting with adding and subtracting, such as adding 4 by counting on four more.

Kindergarten Numbers to 10 Test

Kindergarten

A unit test for numbers to 10 in Kindergarten, made to be read aloud: a one-page pre-check, a two-page review with a tip on every question, and the unit test in two forms (A and B) that ask the same questions with different pictures and numbers. Children count 6 to 10 things in a row and scattered, trace and write 6 to 10, read a ten frame as five and some more, draw a number of dots in a ten frame, match groups to their numbers, find one more, and fill in the numbers before, after and between. The last two questions (one less, and counting back from 10) are for the states that teach them. A small picture beside each question number lets the teacher say "find the sun." Answer keys name the lesson and skill of every question.
